Yeah, but if it's being overwritten, it shouldn't be showing up in the font-list, no? Like UD Kakugo no longer shows up and CJKSans shows up instead - but CJKSerif doesn't.

And like I said, I think with Georgia it was a filesize issue - so if you were only adding a handful of missing glyphs it was probably fine. But adding the thousands of CJK glyphs (well, CJ, mostly, as I don't need hangul support) makes the filesize go from like ~200kb to ~12mb. My two modified fonts are much closer (within a mb or two) of the existing CJK fonts which is why I went with overwriting them.
